Setting the Deck Gauge Wheels
(If Equipped)
Move the tractor to a firm and level surface,
preferably pavement, and proceed as follows:
1. Select the height position of the cutting
deck by placing the deck lift lever in the
normally desired mowing height setting
(there are six different cutting height
notches on the right fender).
2. Check the deck gauge wheels for contact
or excessive clearance with the surface
below. The deck gauge wheels should
have between ¼" and ½" clearance above
the ground.
If the gauge wheels have excessive clearance or
contact with the surface, adjust as follows:
a. Raise the deck lift handle to its highest
setting.
b. Remove the front and rear deck gauge
wheels (a) by removing the lock nuts
(b) and shoulder screws (c) which
secure them to the deck. See Figure
2-11.

d. Reinsert the shoulder screws (c)
into the index hole that leaves
approximately ½" between the
bottom of the deck guage wheel (a)
and the pavement. Secure in place
with the lock nuts (c).
Refer to Leveling the Deck in the Service section
on page 17 of this manual for more detailed

included. If the hood scoop was not installed on
the hood of your tractor at the factory, refer to
the following steps to install the hood scoop:
1. Cut the cable ties securing the hood scoop
to the tractor.
2. Remove the four screws pre-installed in
the hood scoop and retain for Step 4.
3. Snap the hood scoop into place using the
hood as your guide. See Figure 2-12.
4. Install the hood scoop onto the hood of
the tractor and secure from the underside
using the four screws removed in Step 2.

Moving the Tractor Manually
Refer to Figure 2-1 and proceed to your
applicable model.
Hydrostatic Models
Hydrostatic models are equipped with a
hydrostatic relief valve when it is necessary
to move the tractor manually. Activating this
valve forces the fluid in the transmission to
bypass its normal route, allowing the rear tires
to "freewheel." To engage the hydrostatic relief
valve, proceed as follows:
1. Locate the hydrostatic bypass rod in the
rear of the tractor. See Figure 2-13.
Figure 2-13
2. Pull the hydrostatic bypass rod outward,
then down, to lock it in place.
NOTE: The transmission will NOT engage
when the hydrostatic bypass rod is pulled
out. Return the rod to its normal position
prior to operating the tractor.
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to move the
tractor manually without first engaging
the hydrostatic relief valve. Doing so will
result in serious damage to the tractor's
transmission.
Foot Control CVT & CVT Models
CVT models can be placed in the NEUTRAL (N)
position when it is necessary to move the tractor
manually. To move the tractor manually, place
the shift lever in the NEUTRAL (N) position.
